Denial is not a river in Egypt.Give them some time.Imagine how you'd feel if your candidate was not only losing,but trashing her legacy while cribbing from Carl Rove's playbook.This will be over in a few weeks ( maybe less if the Clinton's keep trashing our likely nominee)and Obama will be stronger for it.We'll need the help and support of as many of Hillary's True Believers as we can get to win the Whitehouse. Let's try to take our cues from Obama regarding accepting the fact that there are many people of good conscience at Camp Hillary. It's just gonna take them awhile to work through their dissapointment and get behind Barack.I believe Bill himself said "in the primaries you fall in love, in the general you fall in line." Now let's get after that confused war-monger McCain......

if you think DT is alone in not voting for OBAMA than you folks are way wrong. many democrats are ultra moderate democrats that was already having a problem with extreme left politics of OBAMA. you seem to forget this. although i can not stand McCain’s amnesty and war position I dislike OBAMA's immigration pandering positions here in chicago even more. as far as the war...if democrats win in the state and in congressional races we will have enough votes to stop McCain. i and many other moderate democrats CAN AND WILL live with that. if OBAMA wins i either will vote for McCain or not vote and stay at home for the first time in my voting age life and i have no problem with that.

if you want to say that OBAMA did not have his surrogates accuse hillary and bill of racism while he stood by then you keep believing that BS. while i remember jesse jackson junior on television when hilliary cried about her feeling how important this election was and jesse jackson junior immediately stating he did not see hilliary crying for the victims of katrina. then professor clay (another OBAMA surrogate) going on and on about racism and the bradley effect playing out. as a black woman i watched and listened to OBAMA's surrogates play the race card over and over and played it hard. Jesse Jackson Junior intimidating Black delegates and superdelegates stating and pressuring them on how will they feel if they are the reason that a BLACK man did not win the presidency and their need to change their vote. When OBAMA surrogates were all out to campaign and to mischaracterize the Hillary statement about martin luther king that was way over the top. OBAMA’s folks sent out mailings to promote racial discord and tension and they did not have any problems with doing so where was OBAMA to step in and stop that crap from his team? no where of course he sat back and benefitted from dividing us again and for OBAMA to put in his race speech not to judge hilliary on statements farroro made was really disgusting and wrong as he didn’t own up to the fact that his campaign pushed this accusation along with his own statements harder than anyone else. OBAMA used racism repeatedly to push his candidacy forward. if you try to say he didn't you are dishonest or blind to when it is really being played. he allows the damage to be done and then jumps in and acts like he is above it all. he is no better than McCain who knew the over the top radio shock jock was going to say all the rabid racial venom and then comes after to denounce it. he comes off smelling like a rose to dumb arses not intelligent enough to see he just manipulated the entire event.

Now in my opinion what you have not realized is that blacks supported the Clintons and the democrats in mass for years…what you don’t see is by OBAMA destroying their faith in bill and hilliary and by convincing them bill did nothing for them over the years they are now strongly behind a BLACK candidate but they are no longer strongly aligned to the democratic party. You have NO IDEA how much DAMAGE OBAMA has done to this party and you will learn over the years. My belief is McCain will be the next president and BARACK help him walk right into the white house.

Finally OBAMA has not been a bonehead as he likes to say when he makes a mistake but a very calculated self serving politician. he has done more to damage this country through dividing the party and through race bating then i have ever seen and i am ashamed of it. yes his speech may help in our racial discussions over the years but his speech was too late, calculated for political expediency, not enough to separate himself with a hateful anti american racist minister (who has also done some good things i am sure) and who has been an obvious liar on numerous occasions. so for me and my family we will vote for Hilliary or McCain.

Sometimes I get tempted to refute ridiculous posts point by point, but Michelle, your assertions are so unhinged and not based in reality that I don't see the need.

I do want highlight one phrase of yours: "OBAMA to put in his race speech not to judge hilliary on statements farroro made was really disgusting

So, for Obama to tell everyone that Hillary should NOT be judged for what Ferraro said is disgusting? Um, how? You would have preferred he say Hillary should burn in hell for what Ferraro said?

Take a step back. Have a drink. Chill for a sec, and try doing an objective analysis of the past 6 months because you're not really seeing the forest for the trees right now.

Keep going folks. Disparaging the largest part of the Democratic party. Gonna bank that everyone wrapped up in the primaries will be around in November? Will you motivate people in Ohio/NY/Cali/PA/Michigan/Florida/New Jersey? Gonna bet on it? Are you sure you can motivate us?

And, if Obama was so great.....you wouldn't worry about such threats..

We know you'll come around eventually, so there's no hurry. We all know it's an empty threat.

And I DON'T APPPRECIATE blackmail either, like many of the others here. Yet another Rovian tactic.

So the threat of blacks not voting if Hillary wins the nomination are untrue? This hasn't been mentioned? The history of black voters tells us that they will vote for the Democratic nominee no matter what?

Or is it completely understandable if black voters stay home should Hillary win - and demonic behavor if what keeps being referred to here as "lower-class", "uneducated" and "racist" whites
fail to support Obama.

Or do we not have to worry about either group because, in the end, we don't need either and they must follow the party - like voters in Florida and Michigan - or be blown off?

Is there any segment of the party THIS segment doesn't mind offending?

And finally...does anybody on here use their real name?
